Balsamic Green Bean Pistachio Salad Recipe

Here is a simple green bean salad perfect alone or as a side dish with your meals. Served cold or hot it's delicious! I just love green beans and with this aged balsamic vinegar they are over the top great! The pistachios give them such a great crunch. A pretty dish to serve during the holiday too!
